A Must-Have for the Ducatisti,
By Robert C. Vaeth (Northwestern CT) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Ducati: The Official Racing History (Hardcover)
Even if you own every other Ducati book ever written, this is THE book to own! In association with the Ducati factory, this book shows their bikes in the factory museum. Well written with new information and exceptional photographs unlike any other Ducati book I own. Features the factory race bikes with some excellent info and photos of the standard bikes. Text is in English and was printed in Italy. EVERY motorcycle enthusiast should own this book. The best book bargain out there when purchased on Amazon. I was so impressed I bought two of them!

Lot of book for the money,
By Patrick McDill (Collinsville, IL United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Ducati: The Official Racing History (Hardcover)
This book is detailed and high quality. Excellent for a coffee table piece. It is an inch thick, lot of content. Great value for the price.

Got Ducs?,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Ducati: The Official Racing History (Hardcover)
I bought this book at Amazon.com because I just had to have it. I'm no Ducatisti, but I can appreciate Ducati racing history and I'll check out a Duc when I find one to look over the carbon fiber, expensive gold bits, and the chicken strips on the tires. And the famous Ducs are all here in this book for me to eye whenever I want. You get the usual development and racing history of each model in this book, but best of all, you get great pictures of vicious old Italian racers in black leathers and big 2-page layouts of the famous racers like Mike "The Bike" Hailwood's 900, Lucky's 750 F1, Doug Polen's 888 Superbike, and Foggy's 916. These pictures let you really get in there to inspect honest rock chips, race scrapes and battle scars. I took one star away from my rating because the text reads like a corny, congratulatory sales brochure, but it is the "Official Racing History" from the constructor so what do you expect? This book is pure motorcycle porn. If you love sportbikes or motorcycles in general, you need this book. It's worth every penny. Enjoy the ducs, but Ride Red.
